ABSTRACT
El hamartoma nasal es una lesión rara que se caracteriza por una mezcla de varios tipos de tejidos. Es aún más rara su localización en la fosa nasal. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 35 años con un hamartoma en la pared posterosuperior de la fosa nasal derecha. Resecamos el tumor mediante cirugía endoscópica. Los hamartomas deben entrar en el diagnóstico diferencial de las masas unilaterales de la nariz, junto con los papilomas invertidos y los tumores malignos (AU)
Nasal hamartoma is a rare lesion characterized by a mix of several tissue types. Its location in the nasal septum is even more rare. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman presenting hamartoma in the posterosuperior part of the right nasal cavity. Complete surgical resection by functional endoscopic sinus surgery was the treatment of choice to remove it completely. Hamartomas must be included in the differential diagnostic of unilateral nasal masses, along with inverted papillomas and malignant tumours (AU)

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the epidemiologic data in 165 patients suffering nasal polyposis. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We collected different variables that included age, gender, asthma, ASA sensitive, allergic rhinitis, smoker, drinker, familiar history. We studied the main symptoms (nasal blockage, rhinorrhea, anosmia, and headache) as well as otological and dermatological involvement. RESULTS: Nasal polyposis affects men (63%) more frequently, with a mean age of 46.5 years. Asthma was found in 36.6 % of patients with nasal polyposis. The most frequent symptom was nasal blockage (88 %) followed by anosmia (78 %). Ears were affected in 42 % of patients and 20 % of first-degree relatives also suffer the same condition. CONCLUSIONS: Nasal polyposis affects both genders in middle age and may have an associated genetic factor in some patients. We must rule out asthma in all these patients.

Objetivo: Realizar un estudio descriptivo de los pacientes con poliposis nasal. Material y método: Estudiamos las variables: edad, sexo, asma, intolerancia a los antiinflamatorios no esteroideos, rinitis alérgica, antecedentes familiares, hábitos (fumador, bebedor), síntomas mayores (obstrucción nasal, rinorrea, pérdida de olfato y cefalea) y afectación otológica y dermatológica. Resultados: Afecta más a varones (63 %) con una media de edad de 46,5 años. Un 36,6 % de los pacientes presenta asma asociada. El síntoma más frecuente es la obstrucción nasal (88 %), seguido de la pérdida de olfato (78 %). Los oídos se afectan en un 42 % de los pacientes. Hay un 20 % de pacientes de primer grado afectados de la misma enfermedad. Conclusiones: La poliposis nasal es una enfermedad que afecta a ambos sexos en la edad media de la vida. En algunos pacientes puede tener relación con un factor genético. En todo paciente con poliposis nasal debemos estudiar la presencia de asma (AU)
